Golly 1.4 for Android

Post by **Andrew** » July 29th, 2024, 2:59 am

Golly 1.4 for Android is now available from the Google Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... t.sf.golly

Changes:

Two-finger pinching can be used to change the font size in the Open/Help/Rule screens.
Fixed a problem with the Open screen's font size being too large on small devices.
Fixed an error that prevented Rule info from being displayed.
Fixed a bug that could prevent pasting into a bounded grid.
Most links in Help > Online Archives and References should now work (some will fail if using Android 7 or older).
Supplied patterns no longer include .lua/zip/rle3 files.

Google play store is blocked and doesn't have VPN.

This is still occuring on an Android 14 phone, for example to the Life Lexicon link. (By the way, at the time of writing https://conwaylife.com/ref/lexicon/lex_home.htm with htm is newer than https://conwaylife.com/ref/lexicon/lex_home.html with html.)

The LifeWiki link is accessible, but the elements before the banner defined in https://conwaylife.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitenotice are displayed vertically, inconsistent with remaining contents. Screenshots before and after zooming are attached.
